CHRO and Vice President and Global Human Resources Consultant

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Find out how you can help the IRC offer lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

Over the course of my 20+ year career, I have earned a reputation as a subject matter expert in optimizing global HR infrastructure, ideating and executing efficient human capital strategies, and maximizing operational effectiveness for NGOs, professional services organizations, and non-profits. I am particularly proud of my work for the IRC, MSH, WWF-US, and additional organizations; administering budgets up to $22M, improving HR operations of 25K+ personnel, implementing and managing human capital systems in the US, ME, LAC, APAC, and SSA. I have helped organizations that had extremely poor HR systems for accountability, risk management, or competitive compensation structures, and turned them around to serve as industry leaders. My forte includes acquiring the world’s top talent, integrating them into effective cross-functional teams, and exceeding human capital organizational expectations. I enjoy working with organizational leadership to improve HR processes and procedures, succession plans, benefits, on- and off-boarding strategies, and to help identify what key metrics should be evaluated to make the human capital organization the best it could be.
